Sun isn't getting radical just yet, but it is prepping the first of its multicore low-end processors for delivery in 2004. As expected, the Gemini processor will combine two UltraSPARC II cores on a single piece of silicon. The chip is due sometime next year, coming in at about 1.2GHz and consuming but 32 Watts of power at maximum load. This product was built by Sun staffers but future multicore designs will come from work originally done by Afara WebSystems - a small company Sun acquired last year.
